What Happened Last Week

Last week, we invited a surprise speaker, a former investor at one of the largest sovereign wealth funds in the world who was also part of the team that launched one of the most downloaded apps in the US in 2023! She shared that integrity, doing what you say you'll do, and a first-principles mindset that simplifies and goes back to fundamentals are the common traits of $100B+ founders.

A huge thank you to our wonderful patrons—Perkins Coie LLP, Bamboo Crowd, and Justworks—for always supporting the female founders & VC community!
